Thanks x5yo, That's exactly what we are thinking. Cheers, J

Hi Gang, New problem with the Inspire X5R. we are doing testing today because we have not flown in a month. Went to turn the gimbal and every 45 degrees or so it sticks making the footage not smooth in it's movements. It sticks over and over. I disconnect the camera and reinstall it to the...

Each version can look exactly the same when you use the sliders. It is all the same data that is the part that seems to be puzzling. All RAW its all the same. So if the profile you applied looks different use your sliders and you can make everyone of those profiles look identical. Best of luck...

We have an in house colorist. We did a test of the same location on all profiles on Thursday, there is no difference. Like x5yo said, you are not utilizing the sliders in post to the fullest. If you use the sliders you will see that all the files you shot can be made to look exactly the same...

Unfortunate about the bucket truck but happy it was only a prop. best of luck on your future flights. Cheers, J

Yep it is weird, We just ran a test on all settings today and all settings look exactly the same on the DNG's from the SSD. Me thinks you might want to check that again. Cheers, J

Hi Eric, Yes, it went really well. We had perfect weather with very little wind. We film twice a week for the stock film industry and we haven't finished post on this shoot yet. When we do we will post a link or two. Off to fly a winery on Tuesday as well as some bikers along the seaside. Our...

My mistake Joe we were shooting to raw. Thanks for pointing that out. We have since checked our footage and the one clip with noise was a bit underexposed. It cleaned up and the rest of our files from that day have no noise. Keep that histogram way to the right, we did a test yesterday where we...

We have checked our final footage and we are not seeing clipping. We just did a couple tests yesterday where we clipped the highlights ( according to the Histogram and they were not close to clipped when we opened the files. Best to push this up at least a stop into the clip for best color on...

You might get some help from this article explaining the difference between Raw and Log I had the same questions when we pulled up our first footage, we expected flat like LOG but that is not the case. You have tons of data there but it should not appear like a LOG file, if you start working...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. We were shooting log, the files are exposed perfectly according to the Histogram on the individual DNG's in PS. The histogram has everything just north of center nothing clipped and lots of room left on the shadow end. I have been a professional film maker/still...

Yes sir, I am filming all day today but I will post tomorrow.

We noticed this yesterday as we are just editing our first set of DNG's. One DNG pulled into PS shows lots of dynamic range but when we export it from premiere it clips the highlights and we had noise. I will post a before and after tomorrow we are filming all day today.

Thank you Damon, all fixed. Cheers, J

Hi gang, We have a purchased a new computer that is having issues with Cinelight. Our previous is an iMac 4K retina and now we have added a brand new Tower totally loaded, purchased just to handle these DNG's. The IMac 4k opens the files no problem the new Mac Tower crashes every time we try to...
